*NOTE: for environmental reasons never discharge refrigerant into atmosphere (follow local regulations to properly dispose of
refrigerant).
It is recommended to familiarize with all technical documentation provided with the unit (such as Mechanical & Electrical
Diagrams) in order to avoid improper operation of this unit.
It is also
mandatory to comply with Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May
2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases.
The above mentioned Regulation lays down specific measures and restrictions to be considered while commissioning,
operating, maintaining and disposing any equipment containing greenhouse gases, such as HFCs, as specified in Annex I.
The Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 also (but not only) specifies mandatory leakage-check frequency to be performed by certified
personnel and mandatory records providing the evidence of exact fluorinated gas charge and subsequent added and/or
recovered quantities as described in Article 3 (reported below):
Article 3

Containment
Operators of the following stationary applications: refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment, including their
circuits, as well as fire protection systems, which contain fluorinated greenhouse gases listed in Annex I, shall, using all
measures which are technically feasible and do not entail disproportionate cost:
(a) prevent leakage of these gases; and
(b) as soon as possible repair any detected leakage.
Operators of the applications referred to in paragraph 1 shall ensure that they are checked for leakage by certified personnel
who comply with the requirements of Article 5, according to the following schedule:
(a) applications containing
3 kg or more of fluorinated greenhouse gases shall be checked for leakage at least once every 12
months ; this shall not apply to equipment with hermetically sealed systems, which are labeled as such and contain less than 6
kg of fluorinated greenhouse gases;
(b) applications containing
30 kg or more of fluorinated greenhouse gases shall be checked for leakage at least once every six
months ;
(c) applications containing 300 kg or more of fluorinated greenhouse gases shall be checked for leakage at least once every
three months .
The applications shall be checked for leakage
within one month after a leak has been repaired to ensure that the repair has
been effective.
For the purposes of this paragraph, ‘checked for leakage’ means that the equipment or system is examined for leakage using
direct or indirect measuring methods, focusing on those parts of the equipment or system most likely to leak. The direct and
indirect measuring methods of checking for leakage shall be specified in the standard checking requirements referred to in
paragraph 7.
Operators of the applications referred to in paragraph 1, containing 300 kg or more of fluorinated greenhouse gases, shall install
leakage detection systems. These leakage detection systems shall be checked at least once every 12 months to ensure their
proper functioning. In the case of such fire protection systems installed before 4 July 2007, leakage detection systems shall be
fitted by 4 July 2010.
Where a properly functioning appropriate leakage detection system is in place, the frequency of the checks required under
paragraph 2(b) and (c) shall be halved.
In the case of fire protection systems where there is an existing inspection regime in place to meet ISO 14520 standard, these
inspections may also fulfill the obligations of this Regulation as long as those inspections are at least as frequent.
Operators of the applications referred to in paragraph 1, containing
3 kg or more of fluorinated greenhouse gases, shall
maintain records on the quantity and type of fluorinated greenhouse gases installed, any quantities added and the quantity
recovered during servicing, maintenance and final disposal. They shall also maintain records of other relevant information
including the identification of the company or technician who performed the servicing or maintenance, as well as the dates and
results of the checks carried out under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 and relevant information specifically identifying the separate
stationary equipment of applications referred to in paragraph 2(b) and (c). These records shall be made available on request to
the competent authority and to the Commission.

CAUTION:
in accordance to the F-GAS regulation DRP43/2012, every year the operator (the owner of
the equipment) is responsible to ensure a Gas leakage test, the recording of the gas quantity change inside the unit
and the communication to the responsible agency of the state in the European community where the unit is in
operation.
